[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron.a:
ok so i'm trying to compile dropbox..

i have installed build essentials, gcc, and c++. when i run ./configure i get

"configure:3169: error: C compiler cannot create executables"

i've searched the web for the last hour and can't find a working solution. the best guess i have is that the motorola modified packages that i locked down with the webtop scripts are causing problems. here's a chunk of the config.log, i don't really know what this means
